Hi Avranjes,

They are still available, however, the trick is to find those with the development potential.

If you have the time, take a look at Bourke st, just off Charles St.(a restaurant called bella cucina is on the corner.) This will give you an idea of the areas potential. These homes are valued at around 300 – 400+.

Should you want our…[Read more]

Hello again Sebastian,

You will find $50 to be an average. However, this will differentiate by suburb, area, and possibly even property type.

Hello Avranjes,

With 280 you can do quite a bit. Having not taking into consideration your financial situation, and without knowing your long term plans, North Perth is still a winner.

Vic Park, lathlain, Carlisle, and surrounding suburbs are places to keep an eye on.

The Joondalup region will also be an area to keep an eye on.

Hello Avranjes,

There are many to choose from. However, it all depends on your budget, and your investment goals.

Genrally, if you dont mind an older house on a larger block, then perhaps North Perth is an area to look at. The area is grossly underdeveloped, and is showing great potential.

Hello Sebastian,

Joondalup has always been a favourte, as the rental market will do well. (see trueblues comments).

You will find that with most internatinal students they are well behaved. They have a fear of causing disruptions, due to their visa requirments.

Bentley is an excellent area also. International students will rent here at a…[Read more]

Hello Stephen,

You will also find that 4% depreciation is allocated only to holiday or tourism accomodation. Some buildings have a combination of both, however, you may want to speak to your financier as a precaution. Banks generally dont like serviced or leasehold apartments.

Hello Cazdean,

I think stuart summed it up best. Its simply too high a risk, and they generally have a bad reputation with banks.

Take a close look at the management contract also. They may require the apartment to be refurbished at your own expense, after a certain period of time.

Hello Andy,

I guess the first thing you need to do is differentiate yourself from your business. Even though you may be a sole trader, you are deemed as two seperate entities.

If you are buying the house under your business, then GST is claimable. However, if you are buying it under your name as an individual, then its not.

When it comes time…[Read more]

Hello MJK,

Yes, Broome and other regional areas are looking great at the moment.

A mild “boom” did arrive, however, you never know its happened until after the event.

For new homes, take a look at Carramar. The success of the Joondalup area will flow on in the next couple of years.

Just a quick addition. You will also be entitled to the capital gains 50% concession, as you would as an individual.

Fullout,

GST doesnt apply to new land, CGT will be payable, and stamp duty will be payable regardless of the property type, as it is paid on the contract itself.

As for the reselling, there is nothing illegal about making a private agreement with another buyer. Just be sure to disclose everything to them.

Being from Perth, and specialising in research and providing cash flow positive properties to eastern states and other investors, I understand your plight.

Firstly, you will need to look in the inner city suburbs. Secondly, you will need to find a descent apartment, or even townhouse/villa. Thirdly, you will need to have all of…[Read more]

Hello Mickey,

You will need to get some more information to make a choice.

You will need to consider all property costs. This includes shire rates, water rates, land tax, strata fees, insurance, maintenance, loan costs, vacancy rates etc.

Trade these expenses off against your rental income, as well as the adjustment to your tax return.

Gus,

You are correct. A descent property manager will never leave your property vacant too long. They will know the market, and have the ability to source tenants rather quickly.

Considering 28 days notice is required, I feel that is ample time to source new tenants.

Andrews comments are correct. Any more than four weeks, then you may want to…[Read more]
